TITLE ISA - DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT,
HEALTH, AND NATURAL RESOURCES
Notice is hereby given in accordance with G.S.
150B-21.2 that the EHNR - Environmental Management
Commission intends to amend rule cited as 15A NCAC 2B
.0308. Notice ofRule-making Proceedings was published in
the Register on January 15, 1997.
Proposed Effective Date: August 1, 1998
A Public Hearing will be conducted at 7:00 p.m. on June 3,
1997 at the McDowell County Courthouse. 1 South Main
Street, Marion. NC 28752.
Reason for Proposed Action: The N.C. Department of
Emironment, Health and Natural Resources on behalf of the
Emironmental Management Commission (EMC) will conduct
a public hearing in order to receive public comments on a
proposal to reclassify a portion of Toms, Mill and
Swannanoa Creeks (Catawba River Basin) in McDowell
County to High Quality Waters. These rule-making
proceedings are being held in accordance with N.C. G.S.
143-214.1, 143-215.1, and 143-215. 3(a)(1).
The criteriafor designation to High Quality Waters includes
those waters which are rated as excellent based on biological
and physical/chemical characteristics through Division

PROPOSED RULES
monitoring or special studies, native and special native trout
waters designated by the Wildlife Resources Commission,
primary nursery areas designated by the Marine Fisheries
Commission and otherfunctional nursery areas designated by
the Wildlife Resources Commission, critical habitat areas
designated by the Wildlife Resources Commission or the
Department of Agriculture, all water supply watersheds
which are either classified as WS-I or WS-II or those for
which a formal petition for reclassification as WS-I or WS-II
has been receivedfrom the appropriate local government and
accepted by the Division of Water Quality, and all Class SA
waters.
Several tributary sites of the Upper Catawba River were
identified as potential High Quality Waters streams by the
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) Environmental Sciences
Branch. Toms Creek, Mill Creek and Swannanoa Creek,
three of the qualifying streams, received an excellent
bioclassification and they, including their tributaries, are
recommended for reclassification to High Quality Waters.
The Division of Water Quality is requesting that the EMC
reclassify Mill Creek, and all tributaries, from its source to
Swannanoa Creek from Class C Tr to Class C Tr HQW,
Swannanoa Creek, and all tributaries, from its source to Mill
Creekfrom Class C Tr to Class C Tr HQW, and Toms Creek
from its source to Harris Creekfrom Class C Tr to Class C
Tr HQW, and Toms Creek from Harris Creek to McDowell
County SR 1434 from Class C to Class C HQW.
If reclassified, ne^v and expanding wastewater dischargers to
the area affected by the proposed reclassification in the Toms
Creek and the Mill and Swannanoa Creeks watersheds will
have additional treatment requiremems. Expanded discharges
are those that increase their permitted pollutant loading.
Single family residences would not be permitted to discharge
to surface waters. Land disturbing activities which require a
Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan and which drain to
and are within one mile of HQW streams will have more
stringent land use development criteria.
Comment Procedures: The purpose of this announcement
is to encourage those interested in this proposal to provide
comments. You may either attend the public hearing and
make rele\unt verbal comments or submit written comments,
data or other relevant information by July 3, 1997. The
Hearing Officer may limit the length of time that you may
speak at the public hearing, if necessary, so that all those
who wish to speak may have an opportunity to do so. We
encourage you to submit written comments as well.
The EMC is very interested in all comments pertaining to the
proposed reclassifications. It is very important that all
interested and potentially affected persons or parties make
their \ie^vs known to the EMC whether in favor of or opposed
to any and all provisions of the proposed reclassifications.
The EMC may not adopt a rule that differs substantially from
the text of the proposed rule published in the North Carolina
Register unless the EMC publishes the text of the proposed
different rule and accepts comments on the ne^v text (see
150B-21.2(g)). All interested and potentially affected
persons are strongly encouraged to read the entire
announcement and supporting information, and make
appropriate comments on the proposal presented. The
proposed effective date for the final rules pursuant to this
hearing process is August 1, 1998. Written comments may
be submitted by July 3, 1997 to:
